The Expedition Journals of Amestus Armen, Journal Three: A Study of Urvalis Culture and Law

In Journal Three we take a look at the Urvalis' sense of right and wrong, what they consider to be crimes and their division of them. Also we discuss the connection between culture and law, how it can affect the development of a system of justice, and how these things can affect your party.

What is the Expedition Journals of Amestus Armen?

The Expedition Journals of Amestus Armen is designed to be added to any existing campaign by being presented as an expedition to a new land. It is a serialized, narrative supplement released at a rate of one Journal every month, each ranging from 10 to 20 pages of original, critical-thinking content.

Why a serialized supplement?

The Roleplaying market is full of hundred page supplements full of all sorts of useful and interesting information that when you integrate it in to your game you only include a portion of it that applies to you and your players. With our model you can pick and choose what you do and don't want to integrate based on it's title.

Why a narrative supplement?

Again, lots of supplements out there, and all fo them tell you "what is", not "what it's like". With a narrative suplement you see things through the eyes of a character experiencing it, minimizing solid numbers, and promoting roleplaying over "roll"-playing.

These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format

These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
